Meeting held to discuss The 40th annual MS 150
Law enforcement and emergency management personnel met this week in LaGrange to discuss the annual MS 150 ride that traverses across several area counties. The 40th annual MS 150 will have starts in Houston and Austin with all riders ending up in LaGrange at the Fayette County Fairgrounds for the first night, The ride is scheduled for April 27-28, 2024.The ride organizers provide medical terms and law enforcement throughout the ride and coordinate with local emergency services and first responders to ensure the riders' and the public's safety.
"This ride has been coming through Fayette County and stopping in LaGrange since it started. The riders say its one of the best parts of the ride. I think its great how the community comes out to support them. The organizers hold a "town hall" meeting about six weeks before the ride with local emergency services and law enforcement to ensure everyone is on the same page. They do their best to be responsible for all necessary services so local providers don't get overtaxed," said Angela Hahn, Fayette County Emergency management Coordinator.
"This is a very worthwhile cause and I'm proud of the part Fayette County plays in raising funds for the MS Society. I hope everyone has a safe ride and remember, share the road." Said Fayette County Judge Dan Mueller.
